What kind of experience does this ski offer?
The Patrol 80 is comfortable on all types of slopes, for skiers looking to improve their technique and who want to ski whatever the conditions. Its construction offers excellent curve stability and easy pivoting, so you can feel confident and improve your technique.
What are the camber and rockers like?
The shape of this ski has short rockers at the front and light ones at the back, improving initiation in turns, on all types of snow and allowing you to pivot easily. This is an ideal shape to improve your level.
What are the sidecut dimensions of this ski?
126/81/114 in 151cm
126/81/114 in 159cm
126/81/114 in 167cm, radius = 14m
These are the widths of the tip (front of the ski), the waist (middle) and the tail (rear). A wide tip makes it easier to turn, while a narrow waist grips better on hard snow.
How is the Patrol 80 built?
The Patrol 80 follows the ‘Cap/sandwich structure’ construction with ABS edging under the width to boost the energy incorporated into the tip. Its ABS heel absorbs ground contours. High molecular weight sole.

Caring for your skis: before, during and at the end of the season?
Maintenance is essential to keep your skis in good condition! Ideally, it should be done before you put them away in the garage at the end of the season: a good coat of wax before putting them away for the summer makes them last longer. Find out more about our advice on our website or from our in-store teams.
What is a camber?
On the ground, the points of contact between the ski and the snow are near the tip and tail, while the centre (under the bindings) rises slightly (this is the camber). The longer and higher the camber, the greater the edge grip and more responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving the skis and the better the handling.
What is a rocker?
It is the tip and tail that lift off the ground. By recentering the points of contact between the skis and the ground, this shortens the amount of time that the skis touch the snow and improves handling / lift in soft snow. The longer the rocker, the better the handling of the ski.
